Can you imagine why anyone would want to name their boy Sue? Of course,
each is more than their name, and it was likely given from the heart by the
mother and perhaps father. So in a way, it’s a ‘memory’ to carry beyond time
on earth. One ‘David or one Jane’ is very unique from someone else bearing
that same name. Our name was given with the intent of meaning, however that
doesn’t mean one can’t choose an additional one that may more
fi
t who you
see yourself as.
Names can become ‘sacred’ regardless of many others, even in your circle, who have the
same name. Names are transferable to pets. I had a golden poodle when I lived with my
partner years ago in NYC, that we named Barron. Years later, how were we to know that our
President and his wife would have a child and name him after our dog’s name? One has to
have a sense of humor to go through the journey of life.
Back a few years ago when I was doing my free speech display on the
Venice Boardwalk (in LA), as well as my meditation groups called the LA
LetGo, I decided to meet more people by o
ff
ering them a new name from
the Sanskrit (India), and an explanation of its meaning on paper. A few
example; 1-Darshan/or Darshana (f) is the name of a God/
Goddess in Hindu mythology meaning ‘vision’; 2-Deepak
means a lamp shinning brightly; 3-Indira means beauty or
splendid; 4-Jaya means victory & victorious. I still hear
occasionally from ones who still uses use the name. Using a
new name, especially with a spiritual meaning, slowly
merges one into a new sense of being and identi
fi
cation. We are not who we
think we are anyway, and a new name can be a stepping stone to letting go of
the attachments to the unwanted past.
We have been taught to hide, not to trust or to be unnecessarily paranoid, that
life is naturally negative, etc. These things have been put into the unconscious
from childhood. They have become part of our mental DNA, and because of
them we go on hiding who we really are. Reality is just the opposite: you are not
naturally bad, but naturally good. Nobody really wants to do bad, and if
somebody is doing bad it simply means that he has been a victim of
circumstances and situations, likely from childhood, so you have been forced to do that. No
thief is happy to be a thief and no murderer is happy to be a murderer. They have been forced.
In fact they are Victims; they have been compelled by the logic of situations. They have been
brought up in such a way that their whole being has been poisoned.
Time to ‘let go’ of past demons and traumas, and move into a new and real you!
Make it a point: stop a
ffi
rming negativities and start a
ffi
rming positivities. Life will
blossom within a week and give you a new, fresh perspective.
